Frankie Knuckles Is Still The House Master

16:20 - March 31, 2015

by davehart

© Frankie Knucklers Its a year on since we lost one of house music founding fathers but while he may have departed the music legacy of Frankie Knuckles lives on. Defected are putting out a collection of his finest work with the profits going towards the Frankie Knuckles fund...

It was a year to the day that Frankie Knuckles past away. I remember reading the news on the 1^st April and at first I thought it was a distasteful April fool. Sadly, there was no joke and it was confirmed that the dance music scene had lost one of its founding godfathers. He would still be beating out the house music today if he was not taken away from us. While the man may have gone, his music will never be gone and live on forever.

Defected will be keeping the music of Frankie fresh in our ears with a new twin CD ‘House Masters’ compilation. It was a project that Frankie had begun working on during February 2014 but his sad passing meant it has never saw the light of day, until now. The announcement of the new compilation was made on the Defected site this week.

Released on 26th April, Defected are honoured to announce the release of House Masters Frankie Knuckles, a project that began in February 2014, with Frankie hand-selecting the productions and remixes he wanted to include on a retrospective release of his illustrious career. On the sad news of his passing on 31 March 2014, the project was duly paused. Now, with the creation of The Frankie Knuckles Fund established in partnership with the Elton John Aids Foundation, the release will finally see the light of day, with all profits being donated to the charity.

The tracklist includes many of the most influential and highly-regarded records from the Grammy-winning producer, including 'Tears', 'Your Love', 'The Whistle Song' and 'Baby Wants To Ride' alongside seminal remixes for Alison Limerick, Inner City, Chaka Khan, Hercules & Love Affair, First Choice and Pet Shop Boys. The release will be accompanied by a limited edition commemorative t-shirt, available exclusively from the Defected online store, with all profits being donated to the Frankie Knuckles Fund.

The full tracklist of the double CD release is right below along with the link to go pre-order it, which I’m sure you will.
